Upconverting Receiver 2010

2010 and the long-term climate reconstructions - a review

In 2010 a lot has changed in the paleoclimatology and several global and hemispheric as well as local and regional Temperaturekonstruktionen, dating back to at least the first millennium AD, was published.
I am going on virtual dates to find

, with the following result: Global and hemispheric

Guiot et al.
[4] - als Conclusio - "The Medieval Warm Period (MWP) could be correlated to higher solar activity. During the 20th century, however only anthropogenic forcing can explain the exceptionally high temperature
rise. Warm periods of the Middle Age were spatially more h eterogeneous than last decades, and then locally it could have been warmer." und Larocque-Tobler et al. (pdf-Format, ca. 1100 KB)[5] - im Abstract - "At the beginning of the record, corresponding to the last part of the “Medieval Climate Anomaly” (MCA) (here the period between ca 1032 and 1262 AD), the chironomid inferred mean July air temperatures were 1[Grad, W.v.B.] C warmer (p < 0.01) than the climate reference period (1961-1990).", liefern uns für Europa vergleichbare Ergebnisse.
Zu
Lindholm et al. [6] kann ich wenig sagen. Sie schreiben im Abstract:
An even more prominent shift occurred in the Middle Ages, as the most severe cold spell during 1135-1164 was preceded by the warmest period only a decade earlier, during 1115-1124. The needs in regard to the average temperature, not hot. Since I did not present the original, I leave that work here are Sun .

There is still the work already mentioned several times by Neukom et al [7] In section 4.1 they write:
Our summer temperature reconstructions (Fig. 2) suggest that extended a warm period in SSA from 900 (or even earlier) to the mid-fourteenth century. This is towards the end of the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA; Bradley et al, 2003;. Stine 1994) as Concluded from NH temperature reconstructions, where most studies find a termination between about 1200 to 1350 (Jansen et al, 2007;. Wanner et al 2008.) .

We see that, ultimately, in all studies, except one for me eruierbare, the occurrence of MWP - by my definition - in the investigated study area was confirmed by the proxy data situation.
I'm curious how this will develop in 2011 to that effect. I hope that there will be new studies from Africa, Australia and New Zealand, not forgetting of course the equatorial regions of the world.
